This is clearly not Dolphins related news, but I feel bad for Cowher. His wife was a big supporter of his. Perhaps spending more time with her due to her cancer was one of the reasons why he retired years ago.

Wife of former Steelers coach Cowher dies

Kaye Cowher, the wife of former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Bill Cowher, reportedly died Friday at the age of 54.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports Kaye died in her native North Carolina after a battle with skin cancer. The paper said the Cowhers met in 1976, when they were classmates at North Carolina State.

The Cowhers made Raleigh, N.C. their home following the end of Bill's coaching career with the Steelers. He resigned in 2006 after 15 seasons.
